Damage
Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these blue notices:
In the blue notice area, we tell you about something that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty, and
it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to
do
to
help avoid the
damage.
When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in different words. In this manual, we’ve used
the familiar words and colors that General Motors has used for years.

This section tells you about the seats-how to adjust them, take them out
and put them back in. It also tells you about bucket and bench seats, power

You
can lose control of the vehicle if you try to adjust a manual

driver’s seat while the vehicle is moving. The sudden movement
could startle and confuse
you,
or make you push
a
pedal when you
don’t want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the vehicle is not
moving.

The bucket seats can be adjusted forward or rearward by the lever at the
front
of
the seat.
Slide the lever at the front
of
the seat to the left to unlock it. Slide the seat
to
where you want
it.
Then release the lever and try
to
move the seat with
your body, to make sure the seat is locked into place.

You can adjust the seat before entering the vehicle.

makes the front
of
the seat go up and down.
The rear control
makes the rear of the seat
go
up and down.
The center control
makes the whole seat
go
up and down or forward and
rearward.
Reclining Bucket Seatbacks

If you have this feature, you can adjust the seatback by rotating the knob.
It
is easier
to
recline the seat
if
you

not lean against
it
while turning the
knob.

dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t
do
their job
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle
is
in motion can be
when you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do
its job because it won’t be against your
body. Instead,
it
will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into
it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t
do
its job either. In a crash the belt could go up
over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your
pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back
in
the seat and wear your safety
I
belt properly.
Rear
Seats
Bucket
Seats
If
you
have rear bucket seats in your vehicle, they
will
recline and adjust the
same way
as
the front manual bucket seats.
See
"Front Seats" earlier
in
this
section or
in
the
Index.
Bench
Seats
If
you have bench seats in your vehicle, each seat
can
carry
up
to three
passengers. They can also be removed to increase storage space.
:..,:.;..*i

K3203
The center and rear bench seats can be adjusted forward or rearward by the
lever at the front
of
the seat. Slide the lever at the front of the seat to the
right to unlock it. Slide the seat
to
where you want
it.
Then release the lever
and try to move the seat with your body, to make sure the seat is locked
into place.

The non-touring center bench seat has a pivoting right armrest. The left
armrest can also be
used
as
a

armrests.
See
"Storage CornpartmenVBeverage Cooler"

reclining seatbacks, adjustable headrests and a fold down center console.

lever. Make sure the seatback is locked when it is put back in the upright
